Whispering Summer Love Words

Lauren  Sax
1. "A life without love is like a year without Summer." -Robert Burton

Love's absence from a life leaves it dry, barren, cold, and fruitless. This is much like how the cycle of the seasons would seem without the warmth of Summer.

2. "Summer set lip to earth's bosom bare, and left the flushed print in a poppy there." -Francis Thompson

The outline and silhouette of a poppy is beautiful and natural, which is likened in this quote to the unequivocal beauty of love in one's life.

3. "I know I am but Summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year." -Edna St. Vincent

This quote identifies the boundaries of a love that has failed to grow into an all-encompassing essence.

4. "Do what we can; Summer will have its flies." -Emerson

Even beautiful Summer has its moments that are less than ideal.

5. "Love is Summer's final bliss." -Lauren Sax

A romance at the end of Summer is a perfect ending. It is icing on the cake.

6. "O my luve's like a red, red rose/That's newly sprung in June/ O my luve's like a melodie/ That's sweetly played in tune." -Robert Burns

This Scottish poet likens love to a rose blossoming in June. Roses are synonymous with love and are prevalent outside in June. A sweet melody warms the heart like love.

7. "Alas that my heart is a lute/Whereon you have learned to play/For a many years it was mute/Until one Summer's day." -Anne Barnard

Love can awaken one's soul in a way that nothing else in the world can. This is a perfect synonym between one's heart being symbolized as an instrument learning to play for the first time. It's similar to new life and an awakening of sorts.

8. "In Summer's sun/Your gaze, it seems/Tantalizingly redeems....a soul from the bore of winter." -Lauren Sax

Summer makes all the long, dark, cold nights of winter worth the wait. It can shake a weary soul alive again.

9. "This just can't be Summer love/Cause I can't wait to fall in love....with you." -Justin Timberlake

The lyrics explain that the love being experienced cannot fall away when Summer ends. The romance must live on.

10. "Love is to the heart what Summer is to the swinging seasons of the year." -Lauren Sax

Like love, Summer adds light and beauty to the year. It is the revitalizing season and love is the reawakening emotion.

Leavin' a lot to be figured out through my writing and articles, but I'll sum it up by saying I'm an active, opinionated Irish gal from southwest 'burb of Chicago. I love writing, talking philosophy, and wo...  View profile
